To become a pediatrician, you need four years of undergraduate school and four years of medical school before applying to a pediatric residency program. If you have made it to the interview, you must have met the requirements to apply. The interviewers would like you to describe the steps you have taken to meet their requirements. Be sure to mention where you received your education and how it has prepared you for the pediatric residency program.

"I received my Bachelor's Degree in Health Sciences from the University of California San Diego and then attended medical school at Stanford University after sitting for the Medical College Admissions Test. I obtained my Doctor of Medicine degree and completed my rotations, where I gravitated toward pediatrics. I recently completed my one-year internship and am prepared and qualified to advance in the pediatric residency program."
